This has got to be one of my favorite anime for this year.

It's based on a light novel series about two siblings Sora and Shiro who are hikikomori in the real world but are hardcore gamers in the gaming world. They are known as 『　　』 (blank), a group of unbeatable online gamers with impossible scores to surpass. One day, they receive an e-mail from an unknown user who challenges them to a game of online chess. Luckily, they win and are suddenly reborn in a fantasy world called Disboard, wherein everything is settled through games. They discover that the person who transported them is Tet, the world's one true god. Sora and Shiro starts their journey in bringing the human race Imanity back on their feet as well as world domination to defeat Tet.

I absolutely love the concept and the story progression of the series. It gets me really hyped everytime Sora and Shiro challenges somebody to a game. I also get amazed by how smart, wise and clever the siblings are. The fight scenes are mindblowing, too.

My favorite episode is episode 6 wherein they are challenged to a game of Materialization Shiritori!


Shiro's cuteness always captures my heart. And her eyes. Her eyes. *collapses from intense nosebleed*
I'm in love with the animation, art style, and hue that was used throughout the series. I also love the fact that the seiyuus of Sora and Shiro are also the seiyuus of Sorata and Mashiro of Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo! See the similarity: Sora[ta] and [Ma]shiro.

The OST albums are awesome and fun to listen to! They really sound like tracks from various video games! There are certain songs that sound like they come from Scott Pilgrim, Final Fantasy XIII and Tekken Tag Tournament 2 because of the violin, the 8-bit music, and the dubstep. They are perfect for action scenes (plus points if they are game-related).

This is my favorite so far:

Here are the No Game No Life OST albums if you want to listen to them.
